Week 3

This week wasn’t as stressful as last week…
Frustrations: (#1) Isaac only tried to keep me up once this week, and thanks to Christopher’s Mom, I got a full nights sleep. Lori offered to come over and help out one night this week, when Isaac was really bad. Poor little guy would not stop crying at all! (#2) The first two weeks of his life he slept the whole time in the car, now all of a sudden this week, he did nothing but cry every time I put him in the car. Hopefully its just a phase he’s going through this week and that maybe he will go back to sleeping next week. (#3) He fights so much during the day to take a nap, he cries and cries and cries until I play with him some more… I can’t get anything done, and I know that’s how it is with a new born, but even going to the bathroom is a challenge!
Accomplishments: (#1) His umbilical cord finally fell off this week, which means real baths for him! (#2) He’s really starting to hold his head up on his own, he’s so proud of himself that – guess what – he cries! (#3) He’s also getting the hang of holding the pacifier in his mouth on his own, so once its in, Mommy or Daddy can walk away for a while. Gives us about 5 minutes of freedom before it falls out of his mouth tehehe.
As for me, I’m feeling 100% better this week, but, I still can’t do much until after the 11th, when the doctor gives me the okay. No heavy lifting, no swimming. *sigh* That last one is the hardest, the weather out here has been so hot and being right by two nice cool shimmering pools… SUCKS!
